The Thistle's Transatlantic Voyage

WILL SHE CARRY OFF THE AMERICAS CUP:
A telegram from London says: In preparing the
Thistle for her transatlantic voyage structural
alterations have been made. She will be rugged
with short tOpmast, a very short bOwsprit, and
boom OF half racing length, and Will sail under
a storm mainSai, small foresail, Jib and q
staySail. Her racing sparS and spare mast will be
brought over by one OF the Anchor Line vessels.
Capt. Kerr, an old Atlantic sailor, Will navigate
the vessel. Capt. Barr, the commander OF the
Thistle, refuses TO express an opinion as TO the
ThiStle'S chances OF winning the Americas cup.
He asserts that she can run away from the May
flower in light winds, but shakes his head regard
Ing the Volunteer. He says that, judging from the
reports received, a much greater departure from
the usual American lines has been taken in the
building OF the Volunteer than has been made in
the construction OF The Thistle, as compared with
the Genesta and oialatea. Doubtless, he says the
Volunteer is fast boat, and he declines TO vaunt

yacht Mr.. Macdonald, the mate OF the Thistle,
declares that unless the Volunteer Is able to beat
the MayIlOwer by twenty minutes over the New
York course the Thistle Will win the Americas

ARE WOMEN RUDE!
An Ungallant Pathfinder Criticises
Their Public Manners.

RudeneSs is a quality ordinarily credited to
those OF low social rank or extreme youth. and we
hear rude boys or men more frequently criticised
than girls or women; but our observation for
some years, and in several American cities, in
duces us TO think that active public selfshness
which constitutes rudeneSS Is by no means, nor
indeed chiefly masculine quality.

The July number OF the Journal Of analytical
Chemistry, edited by Edward Hart, professor OF
analytical chemistry OF Lafayette College, put
l1shed to-day, contains an article by Professor
Victor c. Vaughan upon tyrotOxicon the poisonous
substance sometimes found in ice cream This
substance was discovered by Professor Vaughan
about year ago, and he has since spent a great
deal OF time In examining 1t. He has discovered
that tyrOtOXfcOn is identical with daZO- benzOl a
substance which has been known for many years
ana which was first prepared from anime by Peter
Cries., German chemist. The poison Is caused
by peculiar fermentation a the cream before 1t
Is frozen, and 1t can be- separated from the cream
by treatment with soda and then with ether,
which dissOlveS the poison. An important point
brought out by Professor Vaughan'S researches is
that the poison is entirely destroyed by boiling the
ice cream mixture before IL is frozen.
